Everyone’s plasma is unique. In special cases, individuals plasma may contains specific levels of certain antibodies required to manufacture immune globulins against deadly diseases. We invite you to look into our Specialty Plasma Programs. Not all our centers participate in these programs, so ask a center staff member or check out the center’s webpage for more information.
Anti-Hepatitis B Program
This special program collects plasma from donors who have been vaccinated against Hepatitis B and have formed Hepatitis B antibodies.
Anti-D Program
This special program collects plasma from donors with the Rho(D) antibody and uses it to make anti-D immunoglobulin, an injection given to Rh negative mothers during pregnancy and immediately after labor and delivery. The injection prevents thousands of infant deaths each year due to Rh incompatibility.
Anti-Tetanus Program
This special program collects plasma from donors who have been vaccinated against Tetanus and have formed Tetanus antibodies. These antibodies are not naturally occurring. This special plasma is used to make Tetanus immunoglobulin for use in the prevention and treatment of Tetanus. This disease, also known as lockjaw, affects hundreds of individuals yearly.
Anti-Rabies Program
This program collects plasma from donors who have been vaccinated against rabies. Donors in this program have plasma high in these antibodies, which can be used to produce lifesaving rabies immunoglobulin products. Rabies is a disease that affects the central nervous system and is transmitted by coming into contact with the saliva of an infected animal. Rabies can be contracted if you are bitten, scratched, or come into contact with infected saliva from a rabid animal
Anti-RSV
Donors in this program have plasma high in these antibodies, which can be used to produce lifesaving RSV (Respiratory Syncytial Virus) immunoglobulin products. RSV is a disease that affects the lungs, primarily in the elderly and small children, and is transmitted through small respiratory droplets.
